I haven't figured out how to reply to your I/M

The belt # for the #1 is R-429-0055 and for the #2 is R-429-0061. I hope this helps.

I have the Dumore manual in my shop. What would you want out of it.

Nick The paint looked good, but with a lot of filler underneath, The metal ways were shiny, The controls were clean, The handles were nice and smooth. But in my experience with metals from around the world, when the name INDIA came up the game was over. Some countries have excellent...

A few years back I was in the market for a new mill. I went to the local DGI supplier for inserts, while I was waiting for things to be gathered up I was looking at the new equipment for sale. They had a nice looking mill trying to get my attention. Salesman came over and offered to sell at a...

Don't you just love, The free enterprise entitlement attitude of the modern world.

You might want to consider building a small shed outside to put the bead blaster in. Myself I put mine outside as well as the cyclone and baghouse. This made a world of difference. No more glass on the floor or surrounding metal. That's a nice looking Aspencade. I've had a couple through the...

Personally I don't see a trike as an option. However I did buy my wife a sporty two seater a few years ago. That's about the only way I can get my speed thrills anymore. As a side note, I did consider building a side car for the Beemer a few years ago. Then looking back at my youth I decided to...

Unfortunately MY motorcycle days are over. I don't have my balance anymore and don't trust myself on the one I like to ride. (BMW K1200Lt) that's an eleven pound pig but smooth as silk. I still have my old Mile bike and a couple others that were my favorites for cow trailing but no more riding...

If you want to put a simple diesel engine in a jeep take a good look at a 353 Detroit. Now don't get me wrong, I am a cummins guy myself, however about 25 years ago I traded for a willy's jeep with a 283 in it. I also had a low time 353 Detroit sitting in my back yard that I had picked up in a...

rsuarez What's with the CBX engine? I have a lot of hotrod parts for these from back in the day. I mean cranks, rods, cams, valves, springs, and pistons. These things would sing if done properly.

I work out of my unattached garage. 24x36 with 18x12 high door. I would like to had more room than what I have now but the city says NO. The only time I've a vehicle in my shop was to paint the welding bed on my 97 Dodge rig and also to put Lincoln Sa 200 welding machines in trucks or take them out.

I've made a lot of engine parts using 6AL4v Ti through the years and one thing I discovered quite quickly was the use of bronze on the turning journals. If you run a roller bearing against the Ti it will rollover the Ti and knock the bearing out real quick. So you will have to run with a...

The best places to buy tubing is Ryerson and Marmon Keystone. I've spent a small fortune at both through the years. Myself for a motorcycle frame I would use Chromoly 4130. Reason being stronger than DOM and not much more in price. I was always looking for performance and speed as well as...

As far as the piston goes you might come out money ahead to contract the piston to another company. I used to take the 500 Yamaha singles to 748. The first few I would machine the piston from billet, worked pretty good but not quite what I was looking for. I sent prints to Venolia for a quote...

Deek I have a die head like the one pictured from MSC in the earlier post. I don't remember the brand off hand, but I can pull it out and read what it is if you're interested. I used this die head years ago when I was making spokes for the wheels of racing motorcycles. I haven't touched this...

That shop looks more like the retail places I buy tools than a work shop. One things for sure, You would never mistake his shop for mine.

Thank you gentlemen for your kind replies. It will be some time before I actually start machining on this project. I think I'll try out some of the Solid Works and see if I can use this to design with. I always try to do my homework before I get in too deep on something of this nature. Basically...

Well maybe not brand new, but new to this sight. Gentlemen I have been building several Hodgens 9 radials the last 1.5 years. I have always been intrigued with the radials as it is one of the few engines I have never seen the inside of. Also I bought the prints to give me hard numbers to learn...
